June 2017 saw the mating of Aligngriffs Aala (Jem) to Eiko vom Hellbach Tal (Eiki) and was successful in producing 6 beautiful puppies. Four girls and two boys.  From this litter we kept Lil (Aligngriffs Dyani ) (Photos)

Eiki is from the German kennel of Iris and Ulrich Schendel, breeders who are dedicated to producing Korthals Griffons that are excellent hunters, healthy, true to type and biddable family companions.

This mating combines the strong influence of exceptional pure hunting lines of German kennel Kempter Wald and Herrenhausen in the USA.

Maria Zumbaum of  Kempter Wald and Barbara Young of Herrenhausen Sporting Dogs began their breeding programs over 30 years ago and both have contributed immensely to the international gene pool producing Korthals Griffons in their purest form. Sadly, Maria has since passed but vom Hellbach Tal has carried on with her great work founding their breeding program with the lovely bitch Herta vom Kempter Wald 10 years ago. Herta is Eiko's grandmother. His mother is the lovely Ayka vom Hellbach Tal. His father is Adebar vom Storchennest who is a proven hunter with excellent hunt test scores- VJP-HZP 184 points, VGP 320 points and a prize II on BTR. Herrenhausen continues today to be solely dedicated to producing the genuine Korthals Griffon. "Eiki" is a loving family dog with a gentle disposition but is also a driven cooperative hunter.

Jem is the daughter of Fechlindream Pinot of Aligngriffs  "Maggie" and Zerubbabel von Herrenhausen "Z".

Maggie is an extremely biddable hard working dog with Dutch and German proven hunting and conformation lines. She is a wonderful mother.
